This joint resolution proposes an amendment to Article 4, Section 5 of the New Mexico Constitution, aiming to modify the structure and limitations of the legislative sessions. The key changes include reducing the maximum duration of each regular legislative session from sixty days to forty-five days, regardless of whether the session occurs in an odd or even-numbered year. Additionally, the resolution seeks to eliminate the restrictions on the types of bills that can be considered during even-numbered years, allowing for a broader range of legislative discussions.

Furthermore, the amendment would enable the legislature to consider veto overrides for bills from previous regular, special, or extraordinary sessions within the same legislative biennium. This proposed change is intended to enhance legislative efficiency and responsiveness. The resolution stipulates that the amendment will be presented to the public for approval or rejection during the next general election or any special election called for that purpose.
